    Summary

    Milch Kanten mit Mandarinen is a delightful Japanese dessert known for its simple ingredients, making it particularly appealing to children due to its sweet flavor. This dessert can be prepared using various types of milk, including regular, almond, rice, lactose-free, or soy milk, allowing you to experiment and discover your preferred version. In addition to sweet mandarins, you can also enhance the dessert with canned peaches, strawberries, or other small fruits. A key ingredient in this recipe is Agar-Agar, a plant-based gelling agent that serves as a popular alternative to traditional gelatin, which is derived from animal sources. Agar-Agar is widely available in supermarkets, including products from the well-known brand Dr. Oetker, making it accessible for those seeking vegetarian or vegan-friendly cooking options.

    Kanten mit Milch is a very popular Japanese dessert. Especially among children, it is very popular due to its sweet taste. It can be made with regular milk, but also almond, rice, lactose-free, or soy milk. 

    Try the different milk varieties and find your own Kanten favorite. In addition to sweet tangerines, I also recommend the versions with canned peaches, strawberries, or other small sweet fruits.

    Agar Agar is the Japanese gelling agent

    Agar-Agar is a plant-based gelling agent that is a popular alternative to traditional gelatin. Usually, gelatin is derived from animal sources such as pig skin because it is inexpensive and widely available. However, it is not vegetarian or vegan, so many people look for plant-based alternatives.

    The good news is that there are now also agar-agar products available at an affordable price in supermarkets. A well-known brand that offers agar-agar is Dr. Oetker. This product is available both online, for example, on Amazon, and in many supermarkets. It consists mainly of agar-agar and is therefore ideal for recipes such as Japanese desserts or other plant-based dishes.

      Also bei mir hätte ein Viertel der Agar Agar gereicht. Habe einen Teelöffel dazu gegeben und es war viel zu fest. Habe allerdings ein Agar Agar in Bio-Qualität verwendet, vielleicht liegt da der Unterschied

        Ich nehme an, dass es eventuell eher mit der Marke zusammenhängen könnte. Generell hat das Rezept eine eher feste Konsistenz, aber das hängt natürlich auch mit dem eigenen Geschmack zusammen. Danke auf jeden Fall für den Kommentar. Liebe Grüße Ryusei
